7 Worst Powders

No. 5: CoverGirl TRUBlend Minerals Loose Powder, $7.79 TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 6.8*Why: Readers find this powder "too shimmery for everyday" use as no one "[wants] to sparkle all the time." One reader says, "whenever I wear this and step out into the sun, I get negative comments about the intense shimmer." Others complain that this powder is "not finely milled" making it "very noticeable in pictures." Facebookers beware.

Drug store mineral foundations are crap and most contain chemicals anyway. I wear mineral foundation from Ocean Mist Cosmetics (I've been wear MM for 10 years and this is the BEST I've found and I've tried them all). Though one complaint I've seen almost constantly is people saying a mineral foundation is cakey. Let me tell you this, if you try multiple mineral foundations and they all cake... YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG.
